Thanks for the excellent review on this Olympus TG Tracker ! I need to know how well does it film at night with both the light on/off ? Would the use of an external light source affect picture quality at night , in order to save time on battery life ? Yes , I am a new subscriber !
Does the LCD screen flip towards you? So I bought this camera! It's decent for the price..no audio with slow motion..the built in light shuts off after 45 seconds, then you have to manually turn it back on which is annoying..but you can't beat it for the price! I got mine for $199.99
What a superb review, thank you very much! I cant now get these in the UK under £200 and this is my first action cam purchase, so im hoping that Olympus have now sorted out the App Issues! Again, thanks for the in depth detailed review - Ive subscribed too!
I use this camera underwater and with lighting it takes decent video. Plus, it's much easier to read the digital screen when underwater compared to the go pro.
@ReviewLamp how long does the battery last while recording ? 30 mins , just a very usefull info, one of the reasons i backed out from the cam ,i love everything else about it ! very nice review !!!
Hi. I looks all footage done in wide POV, and fish eye is visible. How does it look like with narrow POV? Is effect reduced? What resolution are available with narrow angle ? And what about stabilization - did you check it during walking?
very good review! just subscribed to your channel. i wasnt sure if i wanted this or the Sony FDR x-3000 and i think after watching this im going to go with the Sony, even tho this one looks nice for the price. thanks so much for helping me make my choice! :)
Olek w tej kwestii dał radę. Mam kamerę od kilku miesięcy i zdała egzamin. Przy nagrywaniu na kasku czy z ręki stabilizator sprawdza się świetnie. Jakość filmów też OK. Duży plus za lampę, która jest bardzo przydatna w gorszych warunkach oświetleniowych. Fajnie że producent dorzucił tez ładowarkę sieciową i uchwyt do filmowania z ręki w cenie, bo inni karzą sobie za to słono płacić. Jak na tą cenę nic lepszego nie znalazłem.
Glad i tuned in to your excellent review on this Olympus TG Tracker. I really enjoyed it, I recently purchased one from neighbor who upgraded. However, the video capture mode is upside down and I don't know how to use the menu to change the video to right-side up. Perhaps you can help? Thanks
thanks for the video.very good discription.can i use it on a shotgun.i mean does it come with a head or a gun mount included on the package or may i try to make one on my own ?
+Hunting and fishing in Cyprus You can certainly mount it to a shotgun. It doesn't come with a mount for that purpose. But you could do a google search to see if someone currently makes a shotgun mount with a 1/4-20 thread.
Great Review... Can you help me out, what settings should i use to get rid of fish eye. Im using it just for day to day video and once in a while underwater.. Thank you.. keep it up
Very useful review, well done, very honest, i will probably buy one now I've viewed this video, it`s very cheap now and would make a great travel companion. Thank you
I have the TG-870, which is an awesome and affordable vlog camera, and have to agree that the Olympus Share app is the most horrible and useless camera app I've seen on any platform. I'm guessing the Tracker has the same stabilization as the TG-870, which I ended up disabling because it makes me feel drunk when I watch the stabilized videos.
Just bought The Stylus TG Tracker Spent many hours recording to find that when I playback the recording is upside down even the demonstration in the shop what's gone wrong ?
Do you have any idea why my TG Tracker stops recording around the 8 seconds mark when recording in 4K? the memory card i have is .. Samsung 64GB Micro SD Card EVO PLUS CLASS-10 - U3 memory card
I need a camera to record my last season of high school basketball for memeries to hold on to later on in life. Will this camera video quality do the jobs inside door as well? Please answer soon as possible. Thank You for the great review ❤
+Raybreana Thomas If you're just looking to have someone record your game, I wouldn't recommend the Tracker. I'd recommend going for a camcorder like the Panasonic hc-v380: amzn.to/2quDYXK
I think I'm gonna buy this one.. i had a gopro before but become heart broken because the housing leaked when i was diving. So I'm planning to buy action cam without housing next to be safer.
Great simple and straight-forward review!!! I did purchase this camera and was wondering can a step-up ring adapter be threaded on for increased specialized photography? Also what is the largest SD card size that the memory can read (32 GB)?
excuse me, but do you have issues with the mobile app or they didn't fix it yet? .... I actually had a htc-re camera (gave it to my brother) and it's app was simple to use .... I currently have the GoPro session but I need a secondary small camera to use easily
05:38 So I guess, since you're having to use the mirror, the LCD viewfinder does not twist over to view from the front of the camera? That would have sold it for me!!
In the specifications it's mentioned it has a recording limit of 29 minutes. Does that mean the recording stops after 29 minutes, or does it just make 29 minute chunks ? On the motorcycle I want to keep recording long drives without having to have to start it every 29 minutes...
Question: are any of these stabilizing systems anything other than digital processing - another reviewer (who looks like paid garbage) said it had 5 axis stabilization which would mean optical not digital stabilization.
Found that using the underwater setting with the underwater lens narrows the field of vision this reducing the fish-eye effect. I use the underwater setting exclusively regardless if filming above or below water for photos and videos without the fish-eye effect.
i own a Gopro 4 Black. Now i can have this cam for $140 New. I am thinking about to sell my Gopro and get the TG-Tracker just for the fakt that it records Depth. (I am a scuba diver) What is your opinion. Is it worth to switch?
+Christopher O'Grady It is digital stabilization. But you do have to realize this a consumer camera and most people don't use Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro, to make the stabilization correction in post. So the in-built stabilization will matter to a lot of people.
Personally used this camera on my recent vacation to Antigua it felt not convenient at all, go pro better option for sure. The good thing may be that camera able to transfer videos via wi fi which takes awful amount of time but other than that whole interface does not make any sense All those good features are useless because to access them on the go almost impossible and inconvenient

Can i change the fish eye lens ? is there a replacement ? I want to stop the fish eye effect
Great Review...
Can you help me out, what settings should i use to get rid of fish eye. Im using it just for day to day video and once in a while underwater..
Thank you.. keep it up
Very Good video. Do you know if software to manage videos can only be used on a celphone or tablet? or perhaps can be also used on a desktop.? Thanks.
Great and very detailed review - much work - thank you.
I want to buy one, so I found this video.

can you record and charge from a powerbank at the same time?
Crazy i first heard of this camera and the gopro hero 10 is allready out . This camera looks pretty cool though.
Thanks for the comment

action cam without housing is less leak proof than camera in housing. thise seals on the battery / mem card door if they fail the camera is dead
What is the pixel number for this camera and the zoom?
Excellent informative review
Thanks, Liz
Very good review, thanks.
Thanks!
Is this camera always in the "fisheye" sorta view? Is it possible to change it to normal view so it doesn't have the kind of fisheye effect?
Reviewlamp , can this camera make long records like 2-3 hrs while powered in to power source ?
is the image stabilization optical or digital?
Great simple and straight-forward review!!! I did purchase this camera and was wondering can a step-up ring adapter be threaded on for increased specialized photography? Also what is the largest SD card size that the memory can read (32 GB)?
How do you get the Wi-Fi to turn on? It says it's connected to my smartphone but on the camera is still says Wi-Fi off.
Are you able to rotate the screen on it, to take selfie videos for vlogging?
You can’t rotate the screen
very well done love that video...extremely professional!!!!!!! what are your thought on the akaso e700? THANKS GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!!!!!!!!
+the wilderness outdoor boys Thank you! I am not sure about that camera. I haven't tested it yet.
excuse me, but do you have issues with the mobile app or they didn't fix it yet? .... I actually had a htc-re camera (gave it to my brother) and it's app was simple to use .... I currently have the GoPro session but I need a secondary small camera to use easily
+Essa Yari Yes, the app still has issues, as I mentioned in the video
05:38 So I guess, since you're having to use the mirror, the LCD viewfinder does not twist over to view from the front of the camera? That would have sold it for me!!
i bought it second hand. it is a nice action cam. thanks for the video
You’re welcome. Thanks for the comment
Can the screen be flipped 360 degrees? Can you buy remote control?
Battery capacity?
Great review. How long does the battery last before charging❓
+Dixon Negron Thanks! That depends on what video resolution you use.
...and whether you're using the built-in video light or not.
The video light eats the battery up quickly
In the specifications it's mentioned it has a recording limit of 29 minutes. Does that mean the recording stops after 29 minutes, or does it just make 29 minute chunks ? On the motorcycle I want to keep recording long drives without having to have to start it every 29 minutes...
It should just keep recording in 29 minute clips continuously
Great review!!
Thanks
My Olympus stylus tracker when turn on it dislpay writeprocted.I put sd card still the same. what can i do pls help.
How will the GPS data be displayed in the finished video?

Question: are any of these stabilizing systems anything other than digital processing - another reviewer (who looks like paid garbage) said it had 5 axis stabilization which would mean optical not digital stabilization.
Hi, where can I get the handle with the mirror?
Hello. Here is a zoom on this camera??
No. It cannot zoom in
@@Reviewlamp Thank you.
great review!
+g0vinda Thanks!
pleas can you explain how to use the log function
nicely done, thank you
Thanks!
CAN i know how come your video does not have the fish eye effect?
Can you ad an external microphone to the camera? , thank you very good review
You’re welcome. You can’t add an external mic
GoPros are smaller, I prefer it a lil bit bigger.
Can you turn off the fish-eye?
Found that using the underwater setting with the underwater lens narrows the field of vision this reducing the fish-eye effect.
I use the underwater setting exclusively regardless if filming above or below water for photos and videos without the fish-eye effect.
Good review! Does this camera allows to shoot videos and charge itself same time? Can it be used as PC webcam?
+Alexey Ryazhskikh Thanks. No, it can't do either of those things.
Thanks you, for fast answer.
is posible to connect a external microphone?
Does it have the Hero 5 Linear Mode FOV that removes the fish eye lens distortion that most action cam have?
I don't believe it does. The fish eye distortion exists and can only be removed in post.
Thanks for the reply mate. I hope all future action cams come with a linear mode so that we can vlog properly with it
...and if it's action cam, let's hope they come with lots of sensors, also an app to help driving the car
Thank youuuu so much
You’re welcome
who much degree can I take picture with this??
good review
Thanks!
If it's called a tracker can I use it for full body tracking when I use my VR headset in VRchat?
Thank you very much
Can this olympus take a picture?
Hafiz Kai Heath
Yes, the Olympus TG Tracker can take a decent photo
Can you please answer me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏can i use go pro Accessoires for this cam
Yes you can :D
i own a Gopro 4 Black. Now i can have this cam for $140 New.
I am thinking about to sell my Gopro and get the TG-Tracker just for the fakt that it records Depth. (I am a scuba diver)
What is your opinion.
Is it worth to switch?
+Roberto Palmisano Yes, if that is your specific requirement, it might make sense to switch
can you mount this camera on a tripod
+DaWitts Wine Outdoors Yes, you can.
You didn't say if it's real stabilisation? As in optical or digital. As the latter is pointless you may as well just do it in post
+Christopher O'Grady It is digital stabilization. But you do have to realize this a consumer camera and most people don't use Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro, to make the stabilization correction in post. So the in-built stabilization will matter to a lot of people.
GoPro has optical?
Militaru Dan no, but the Sony fdr x3000 have optical
nice review!
+Alexis Abreu Thank you!
This lense seems to be pretty awful... Why is it so unsharp at the sides (5:46)?
Personally used this camera on my recent vacation to Antigua it felt not convenient at all, go pro better option for sure. The good thing may be that camera able to transfer videos via wi fi which takes awful amount of time but other than that whole interface does not make any sense All those good features are useless because to access them on the go almost impossible and inconvenient

+Oleg Maksym You’re welcome
its so blurry left top corner =/
GoPro is better dynamic range.
I hate the fish eye effect of the camera lenses. That is deal breaker for me.
Yeah, that can be annoying. But most action cameras still have it.
hey that's 9W
Yes
He is right App is rubbish
